Publisher Description

For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when his entire family was slaughtered. Now, at fourteen, in a hideous echo of the past, Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster family’s mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn—until the Boston PD puts Detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. Determined to protect this young man, Jane discovers that what seemed like a coincidence is instead just one horrifying part of a relentless killer’s merciless mission.

Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a sanctuary where young victims of violent crime learn the secrets and skills of survival in a dangerous world. But even behind locked gates, and surrounded by acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane fears that Evensong’s mysterious benefactors aren’t the only ones watching. When strange blood-splattered dolls are found dangling from a tree, Jane knows that her instincts are dead on. And when she learns of Will Yablonski and Claire Ward, students whose tragic pasts bear a shocking resemblance to Teddy’s, it becomes chillingly clear that a circling predator has more than one victim in mind.

Joining forces with her trusted partner, medical examiner Maura Isles, Jane is determined to keep these orphans safe from harm. But an unspeakable secret dooms the children’s fate—unless Jane and Maura can finally put an end to an obsessed killer’s twisted quest.

"Like all of Tess Gerritsen's mysteries, plenty of excitement and suspense. Jane Rizzoli and Moira Isles are great characters (the TV show does not do them justice at all). Two years earlier, three unrelated children lost their families in separate murders; now they again are the only survivors when someone targeted their foster parents and guardians. While searching for a link between the three children and their families, Rizzoli finds that she also is now a target."

    " In Boston, a teenage boy named Teddy Clock is the only survivor when his foster family is murdered in their home. Detective Jane Rizzoli is called to the site. As she delves into Teddy's background, she discovers that he was also the only one left alive two years ago when his family's yacht blew up in St. Thomas. Teddy is not suspected in the crimes, but it gets Jane wondering about Teddy's past. With medical examiner Maura Isles' help, Jane discovers two other kids, Claire Ward and Will Yablonski who have backgrounds similar to Teddy's. Claire and Will live at a school called Evensong, secure and isolated, in Maine. Interspersed throughout the book are scenes set in Italy about a character named Icarus, who an anonymous narrator is trying to capture. What is the connection between Icarus and the teens and how will Jane and Maura keep the kids safe since it seems someone might be after them? "

    " Good, page-turner, but a little too convoluted (as my mother would say) for my taste. Instead of saying "wow" at the ending, I was more like, "seriously?" and "that's just ridiculous". "

    " Not her best. I thought it lacked something and a bit predictable. I didn't like the 'sinister school' premise, it was like a little jaunt into the horror jenre! It has however made me want to reread her last two books. "

    " I love her books. I like the chemistry of Jane and Maura. In this one, we have Maura visiting her charge Julian up at his new school Evensong. It turns out that Evensong is not eqall it seems. Neither are three children that lost their families not once, but twice. "

    " 3 children, seemingly different, are sent to a school for children who are "survivors". They've survived the murder of their families. Twice, ooh, you have to read it to understand that. I wish there was more of Isles, but alas, still a great story. Keeps you guessing until the end. "

    " Exciting, thrilling and seductive, the only bad thing is that the plot stays in a category of teenage, They don't enter any deeper into the human mind or the complex relation of the man and he's nature, is just about finding the story behind the killings and that's it. "
